Well I suppose it had to happen. I got a call from my ex last night, and he is insisting on bringing his "partner" (my ex-best friend) to the changeover for the kids in the holidays. It was supposed to be at my home. Somewhat naturally I said "no", but he argued the point (he is used to getting his own way with me), and I ended up hanging up very upsed.

Of course the enevitable happened and I headed straight for the fridge. Lucky it is shopping day tomorrow, so the choice was somewhat meagre. I ended up eating 2 wedges of cheese, a bowl of cornflakes with fullcream milk and sugar and a hot chocolate.

Then I told myself that eating myself to death wasn't an option, and to stop (also helped that I had nothing else to eat that I wanted). I didn't get a lot of sleep last night - spent the whole time sorting him out in my head, but got up and went swimming thismorning. Feel better now.

Thanks for putting up with my raving. Now I have written it down, I feel a lot better.

how terrible for u judy. some men just have no idea whatsoever. just wanna kinghit them! good on you for stopping when u did and the swim would have done wonders physically and mentally for you. never fear about venting on here we can all relate in some way or another.

Oh Judy, I think it might make you feel better to stand your ground! Sorry but he sounds like a total prick to even expect you to come face to face with your ex-best friend! GRRR I will get indignant for you and Kate can king hit him and then the 3 of us can go have a coldie in the Cranky Corner....whaddaya reckon...sound like a plan???

Glad you stopped your eating when you did and I bet you did feel good after that swim!! Don't let him get you down mate, you are better than that and deserve better than him!!

Ooh Judy, you poor thing What an insensitive idiot!! Grr they have no idea sometimes!
The food you ate did make me laugh though Reminds me of Bridget Jones' Diary - Bridget looking into her fridge for something to eat when she's depressed and finding a hunk of mouldy cheese and scraping the mould off! And then pouring milk straight into the cereal packet and eating it

But well done for stopping and picking yourself up, it could have been soo much worse, you could have gone and bought a block of choccy or tub of icecream!

Hey Judy - so sorry to hear that your ex is being such a prick! What an awful situation to find yourself in. Good on you for going swimming this morning when you probably felt quite lousy after a bad night of sleep. And luckily it wasn't shopping day! cereal, cheese and hot chockie - it oculd have been a lot worse

Wow It must be hard for you to deal with that kind of situation!!! Good on you for standing your ground I don't blame you for the emotional binge I would to if I were in that situation. He sound's like a real jerk

HEy Judy the guy sounds like a total tool , much like my ex . I put a stop to it by telling him that if he insists on bringing the new gF which is one every couple of months then he willl have to pay to have the drop off done at the where u can drop the kids off and they get picked up there . There is no cross over of both parties . It ost i think about 10 or so . He is so stingy that he never bought the new GF again . Kinda put him in his place .
